EnviroFEST - 21 March 2026

/

Join Project Numbat at the 15th annual EnviroFEST 2026 on Saturday 21st March between 10am-3pm.

EnviroFEST 2026 is Whiteman Park’s flagship environmental event that aims to increase the public’s awareness and understanding of the importance of trees, the environment and conservation in general. Bringing together a range of community groups, environmental professionals and sustainable producers to showcase their products and services, EnviroFEST 2026 is a fun, family-oriented environmental festival open to the whole community.

Visitors to the event will be able to browse through the displays, listen in on workshops and presentations and take home an array of eco-friendly products and information to help them become more ‘green’ and sustainable at home. In 2026, we’re focusing on increasing our tree cover and the importance of providing backyard habitats for our native wildlife.

World Numbat Day 2025

It’s our favourite day of the year again, WORLD NUMBAT DAY! The perfect day to celebrate this amazingly unique and devastatingly cute little animal, and to spread the awareness of its fight against extinction.

In honor of this day, Project Numbat is excited to be funding $4400 for aerial surveys and radio tracking collars to be fitted to four of this year's Perth Zoo bred numbats that will be released into the wild shortly.

We would like to thank our members and followers for their continued support. If you'd like to donate to help numbats and their conservation, follow this link... https://www.numbat.org.au/donations

Dr. Jane Goodall Meets Project Numbat

/

Members of the Project Numbat Committee were honoured to be invited to meet Dr. Jane Goodall at Perth Zoo this week at the start of her Australian tour ‘Reasons for Hope’. Dr. Jane was at the Zoo to met with members of the Roots & Shoots Australia program, her global initiative to empower young people to conserve wildlife, the environment and people.

Project Numbat recently received funding from the Roots and Shoots program to continue to develop our numbat conservation program and provide school incursions across the southwest.

President Rob presented Dr. Jane with a numbat card and pin as a token of our thanks for all that she has done and continues to do.

Dr. Jane went on to meet a numbat in a private behind-the-scenes tour of Perth Zoo's Native Species Breeding Program and as you can see, she is as captivated with numbats as we are!
